I just discovered a blog post: Enhancing Social Interactions: Implementing Webmentions with Next.js and PostgreSQL
https://mxd.codes/articles/enhancing-social-interactions-implementing-webmentions-with-next-js#share
Strong urge to start over from scratch with my IW site.
I didn't know about the #indieweb when I halfway built it, got inspired to finish by IW and tried to adapt but it's really a standard blog with some hastily activated plugins.
Now that I've seen many others, I would do so much different.
New Blog Post: Core Values
At my workplace we talk a lot about the Core Values they look for in employees. While their Core Values are nice and all, I have my own set of Core Values. Today I decided to write these down.
#IndieWeb #SmallWeb #PersonalSites #blogging #philosophy

Decided it would be fun to collect a list of folks who have gone down the rabbit hole of making their own website builders (static site generator, or whatever)
If you do, or know of someone who does, hit me up.

Need contributions to keeping my website online so I can use that money for other things like food, toiletries, and other life things. The good thing is, even small amounts will keep me online for years to come. My Host only accepts PayPal for this but you can contribute to my hosting costs here. https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/contribute/sightlessblog.nfshost.com #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #IndieWeb
Reboot, Renewal (an #IndieWeb Carnival blog post)
https://artlung.com/blog/2025/04/30/reboot-renewal/
Some people have asked about my @omgdotlol account. They want to know what it is. Or simply why it is?
Iβm not really sure how to respond Itβs just fun and interesting. It feels like the small web. The βweb 1.0β (which wasnβt even called that at the time) but with modern tools.
And @adam is good people. He cares about his products and the people using them.
Check it out. Maybe join us.

Here is my entry for IndieWeb Carnival for the Month of April 2025: https://inkbalance.blogspot.com/2025/04/renewal-indieweb-carnival.html
This time the theme was Renewal, and I loved writing on the topic.
Hello #Indieweb I came across the POSSE framework by IndieWeb recently, its how I found out about the group.
I want to avoid stagnating with my #writing, so I tried a topic that didn't feel so intense
...but the moment I touch anything, the bottom drops out & the depth of it opens
...my brain can't help but see a complex web of connections between the most mundane & the most profound
...while it's beautiful to be a complex thinker, it makes everything take time & weight
...and sometimes, I just want to say stuff

I'm hopeful about the news that Fosstodon may survive under new administration.
But I am going to to start periodically backing up my toots in a structured format to eventually β hopefully β populate my own CMS which will later end up being the source of the content (toots, blog posts, photos pushed to pixelfed, etc.).
Messed around and made a /now page. https://artlung.com/now/
You know what would be cool? An #eleventy video plugin that works like the image plugin. Except, the video plugin does these steps: https://www.mux.com/articles/how-to-convert-mp4-to-hls-format-with-ffmpeg-a-step-by-step-guide
The use case is I'm interested in #indieweb, #smolweb, #smallweb and I'd just rather host my random little videos myself instead of putting them on Youtube.
